Hello everyone!
I am wondering if somebody could help me. For the last 3 months I have been working on creating an animated stopmotion film. I have created the real 3D sets, done the clay figures and shot the still images. As I am not very good with computers and all the settings that there are, I just imported every single image from iPhoto into Imovie and changed the time lapse for each image to 0,2 and that�s how I created the animated film. It looks good, but since the film is now over 5 min long, the software (or can it be my computer?)get�s really slow. Sometimes I can�t even watch the video, and definitely not in the full size mode, just on a small video image in imovie.
I am getting really stressed about this now since I have put so much work into it and just want to finish the project (maybe add another 2 more min) and export it to a dvd with as good quality as possible.
I started to read about imovie and discovered it isn�t supposed to be used for stopmotion. So.. I just got istopmotion and did a small test reimporting just onescene, then trying to export it, and importing it into imovie (i like using imovie because of all the possibilities of playing around with contrasts and colors)
But now the quality of the images looks really bad. It isn�t at all as sharp as before. I have tried so many different settings while exporting from istopmotion, but it doesn�t seem to make much difference. I am working in 4:3 ration, and the best option seems to be HD ( but in 16:9 only) so that doesnt seem to work.
Does anybody have any advice for me?
Should I use a completely different software for this and start from scratch?
Or is there maybe just some small trick that I am missing??
I would be very thankful for help!

What codec is istopmotion exporting the video at? It's probably compressing the video before you send it back into iMovie which is exactly what you don't want it to do.

Are the reburbisheds just as good as the new ones?
Yes, they are, and they're covered by the same warranty as new.

In 1999 I watched a Macworld Expo on ZDTV and was hooked. I ordered an iBook right after the show. Then while the iBook was on order I figured I needed a iMac to go with it so I ordered the first of the iMac DVSE's. Then of course my kids needed one so I bought then an iMac. I have since sold my iMac and iBook and bought a new iBook. I also bought an original iMac and upgraded it with a big hard drve and the Harmoni upgrade. I would kill for a new iMac or Power Mac but the $$$$ is not there now. The only reason I built a PC is because I am in school for Network Admin. I have my A+ Cert already and I need tht PC for school and learning. If I could never use one again I would be happy but the choice is not there. I am sick of people making fun of the Mac (at my part time PC tech job). They will never learn.

Most happy with this idea.
This'd give me a store nearer to where I am.
And it will also be the final the death-knell for the dreadful Mac1 store in the Valley. That used to be a great store, but then they got in a bunch of GenY snots who had an astonishingly arrogant attitude to operate the place. I've even been in the shop when I've seen staff actually SNARL at a customer, then belittle them when they left the shop. They were only there to pick up a repair that they'd actually already paid for. . The attitude was so bad I almost dropped the purchase I was making at the time, and walked out the door. I probably should have.
Chermside is a major pain to get to for their apple store, and the place is usually so full of schoolkids (not that the CBD wont be) that it's impossible to move. Usually staff there are so busy just keeping an eye on the kids they are more or less baby-sitting, that it's often hard to get service.
Brisbane CBD: Beautiful building too. I've got high hopes for these guys.
Shame about the great bookstore that used to be there. But oh well.

I have it on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/iPod-Touch-8gb-NIB-iTouch-This-auction-has-character_W0QQitemZ130234664194QQihZ003QQcategoryZ94930QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) as well.

About time wireless sync came to iOS 4. As good as the iPhone is it is really archaic to have to plug in to sync everything. We shouldn't have to over pay for MobileMe to wireless sync in our own homes!

I only sort my albums by artist and release date (CD collection and on iTunes), if I started sorting all the genres I think I'd go mad. It's bad enough as it is.

How ironic that one of the biggest topics discussed is Steve Jobs thoughts on FLASH not being necessary and that's being fiercely debated in another thread here, yet no one on an iPAD can even watch this video on Macrumors!
Too Funny! LOL :D
FAIL. How ironic that you fail at reading post #6.
Where do you think that video comes from? When you visit the original page on iPad or iPhone you get non-flash version of the video.

I've hit a 'thought wall'.
I'm requiring a script which grabs the current 'data read/sec' and 'data written/sec' as shown in Activity Monitor.
...but I can't recall /what the/if there is a/ command to do such a thing.
I have a previous script to monitor ethernet traffic averages over set periods of time, but the traffic I'm needing to monitor just now is running over Fibre Channel - and as such the most important line of my script is, to put it succinctly, useless. :(
Thanks in advance :)

I dont even know which one is my favorite. Mostly all of them are hilarious. I liked the one with the pool in the middle of the apartment. when the guy writes back and says uuuh I think you sent me the wrong floor plans LOL!! And he non-chalantly says oh I forgot to mention I had a pool built in the middle of the apartment as if it's a small thing. Genius

Your blurb left out the part where the passenger assaulted said flight attendant and left him with a laceration on his forehead just above his eye.
If this is the case, its stories like these which prove that the media distorts actual truth and make it worse for the actual victim. Even the police who do have more info than the media, BELIEVE the media. Such stupidity. It was completely reasonable to leave the plane if he had a serious injury.

I went through the same thing about a year ago. Ebay and craigslist are your best bet on getting the current models for less than retail, but you can often find the previous model on sale.
One bit of advice I will give: I wouldn't go lower than about a 1:2 ratio of tablet size to screen size. You lose accuracy pretty quickly beyond that, so don't try to match a 4x6 tablet with a 20" display.
